Average interview

Application

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cisco (Belgrade)

Interview

First there was a call with the recruiter, then an interview with the team. During the interview, they gave a test task to check SQL knowledge (I had to write code on a whiteboard) — it wasn’t too hard (I’d prepared with ChatGPT, and the interview questions were clearly taken from it as well). I’m not quite sure why I was rejected, since everything seemed to go well.
